1. Ankylosaurus was my favorite dinosaur too.

2. I haven't read them, but both volumes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms are on order for me at my local bookstore. Also, I enjoyed Samurai Warriors equally as much as DW 3-5, and I don't have a next-gen console to check out Gundam yet (although, being a zealot, I will most likely love it; I thought Encounters in Space was perfect).

3. Will they frakking add Kyosuke Date to T vs. C already?!

The Famitsu scans for the week just went up the other night. TvC was confirmed for Wii. Wii-exclusive minigames and a new console exclusive character (A Genie from some Tatsunoko series) will be added.

There's some really awesome loketest footage here:

Lots of Karas, love the second stage shown (Onimusha?)

Some awesome Doronjo+Batsu gameplay.

EPIC MECHA GAMEPLAY! Lightan vs PTX


As far as the other news, I loved Kirby Super Star, and I really want to pick up Wario Land because of it's beautiful visuals. I was kinda suckered into buying Super Paper Mario for the same reason.

Blue Dragon Ignition: Well, I don't own a DS, so I can't really say I'll play this. But doing it strategy style might be interesting. And 16 playable characters sounds like Jeanne D'Arc's cozy little PSP game.

Megaman 9: Why oh why can they never make decent artwork for Megaman? Would it kill Capcom U.S.A. to try and make him look the right away?

Dinosaur King: A shame this never came out earlier in my life, back when dinosaurs were the craze among crazy kids. I'd actually watch the anime more and probably get the game too.

Kirby: Whyo! Kirby still rules my Nintendo universe. Though I have to admit I haven't played any of his new generation games. ^^;

Um...the whole point of that cover artwork is to emulate the godawful designs on the US versions of the earliest games. It's part and parcel with the entire nostalgia appeal of the title.

Yeah, I question the viability of a Hamtaro game at this point of the franchise's life in North America.

Top Gun is right, it's an homage to the earlier days of Megaman in the US to fit with the rest of this game. CapCom USA has celebrated Megaman's Japanese-ness various time.

I hope Blue Dragon Plus isn't as generic as it's 360 sibling is.

TvC: I'm holding out hope for Komugi (Nurse Witch version) or Runa (Soul Taker version), though Kyosuke is more likely.


You know, I think Komugi stands a better chance of getting in at this point, since the Tatsunoko side has only one female character and no magical-girl representatives so far.

Then again, I want Asuka Sakurai, the gun-crazy girl from the third episode, to be the SoulTaker-related pick more than anything.

Yep, the genie's from Hakushon Daimaou, one of those older '70s anime series that was broadcast all over Europe but never translated for North America.

I just want any recognition for SoulTaker.

Old-school PS fanboys are so annoying. PSO, lack of content aside, was the best online RPG ever, and possibly the best there ever will be. It was also entirely devoid of neon hoods, that was all PSUs doing. PSU wasn't bad, but...ehh.

You were right about crushing hopes either way though. The game certainly has potential, but will it deliver? Probably not.

The DS port is pretty much the PSP version, with the extra “Etna Mode” re-telling...

What is that? Does it need to be unlocked? I liked Disgaea, but lacked the patience to GRIND for a million years to get all through all the post-plot content. Is it worth it?

In the PSP version is can be unlocked by reading Etna's diary ever chapter. It's barely any extra work, but you do have to play through the game once to unlock it. You can also unlock the mode if you put the cursor on "New Game" in the start screen and press Triangle, Square, Circle, Triangle Square, Circle, X. The DS has a similar code (X - Y - B - X - Y - B - A)

I will have to disagree on the whole idea that the ANBU don't play a significant role in the Naruto universe. There isn't a whole lot of focus on them and it never really goes deep into detail about them but there are a few key main story points where they are pretty significant.

This game should be pretty awesome though, especially if it is indeed about the ANBU. Cool
